Beta Aiden knocked on Cahir's door.
"Your Majesty," Aiden entered, his expression grave. "Miss Katia collapsed last night. Beta Glen called for a doctor in the middle of the night. When Luna Maria heard about it, she sent Dr. Harrison personally."
Cahir looked up from the documents he'd been reviewing.
He remembered their encounter in the forest yesterday—her trembling body, that terrifying paleness, like she was barely holding herself together.
Why is her body so weak? Or... did he frighten her that badly last night?*
Cahir stood abruptly. "I'm going to see her."
Aiden froze. "But Your Majesty, today's hunt is scheduled—"
"Postpone it." Cahir cut him off, striding toward the door.
In the villa bedroom, Katia lay propped against pillows.
